[Spike] Knack Embed inside a Knack app

[ChrispinP]

Apps team would like to investigate the possibility of embedding a Knack app into another Knack app. Knack provides embed code based on the Knack page selected. This embed code works on external sites as exemplified with SharePoint. We imagine this will work similarly to a web map iframe that we use in several apps where it will need both an iframe to live in and some JS to populate the iframe with the embed code.

This solution would provide us the ability to:

• provide better version control across all apps with a change log that we dont need to rebuild in every app
• provide an ala carte menu for all apps the would use commonly built features such as account management, dashboards, etc
• present other app data in other apps where relevant such as Signs & Markings <> Traffic Register for install/uninstalled sign data
• provide the same form, application, or survey across multiple apps

Sample Embed Code: <script type="text/javascript">app_id="5815f29f7f7252cc2ca91c4f";distribution_key="dist_3";</script><script type="text/javascript" src="https://loader.knack.com/5815f29f7f7252cc2ca91c4f/dist_3/knack.js"></script><div id="knack-dist_3">Loading...</div>

@ChrispinP - going to move this to "Needs scoping" and unassign Chia and Mike. :)

@ChrispinP - what type of Dev support did you envision here? When were you planning to try this out?

[ChrispinP]

@amenity Would require iframe code and JS code to render the embed code. We are flexible and I can do any of the testing anytime.
